The guilt bomb, as they call it in the 90’s sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond! Guilt-trip parenting is a manipulative tactic where parents make their children feel guilty in order to control their behavior or get what they want. If you smiled or laughed at any of the above quotes, then you understand exactly what I mean. This parenting style was (and still is) a thing, just not necessarily a “good” thing. According to Verywell Family, guilt-trip parenting is one of the least effective parenting strategies. It may help parents get what they want in the short term, but it can damage a child’s emotional well-being and weaken the parent-child relationship over time.
